More Kitchen Cupboard Organizing!

I'm continuing on with organizing my kitchen cupboards. I started with the pantry which you can read about HERE. Now I've moved on to the rest of the cabinets. I am about three quarters of the way to having a fully organized, functional kitchen! Yay!

Just a reminder, this is what my kitchen looks like:

As you can see I am blessed with lots of cupboard space! I guess I wasn't use to it because I sure wasted a lot of it...but not anymore!

Here are a few before and after photos:

1. The cabinet that use to hold large bowls and an asparagus cooker (it was a gift) is now my baking cupboard.

2. All the large bowls and serving dishes have been moved down to the awkward corner cabinet. Before, this cabinet was filled with random things, ie: bread maker, roasting pan, serving dishes etc...it didn't make any sense, basically if I didn't know where to put it, into the corner cabinet it went! Eventually I'd like to put in some kind of a tiered lazy susan here.

3. Things that don't get used as often have now been stored in the cabinet above the fridge (such as the wok, juicer, food processor etc..

4. Which created less clutter in this cabinet:

5. All the vases have been moved to above the microwave:

6. My cookbooks have been moved down to a shelf that I can easily reach:

7. The cabinet next to the stove with easy access to cooking oils and spices is now de-cluttered:

8.The crazy messy cabinet with teas and hot chocolates now have water bottles and jugs:

Side Note: Did anyone notice my little pug in photos 5 and 7? He was a gift that my parents gave me for Christmas one year because I love pugs. Let me introduce you to Horatio:

Unfortunately, my hubby hates pugs! So alas Horatio is confined to the cupboard. But he likes to sneak out every once in a while and surprise Michael in different places, like the fridge or his pillow!

visiting from the Home Decor & Organizing party- don't you just love re-organizing cabinets?! I recently did a mini one myself, feels so great to finally have everything in a practical place ;) and poor Horatio- at least he gets out from time to time hehe!!

seriously, i thought that pug was real! my friend hates pugs, but everyone uses that for gifts for her. poor girl has tshirts, and blankets, etc.

also, i love your dark cabinets-i have dark ones that aren't getting painted when we (eventually) tackle the kitchen, and it's nice to have some pretty inspiration for me amidst all this white cabinetry the blog world is showing!

Can I just say how jealous I am of your kitchen?! And even your 'before' pics look more organized than my cabinets are! Wanna trade houses? Lol. Thanks for sharing at Shine on Fridays! Great job organizing!
